yeah, I will be. The biggest problem I had was my spotter/lift off guy sucked at it today. Last week, the guy (some other dude) slid the bar out just perfectly. Today, it was jerked out a bit. That and it just went so sloooow

Good spotters are hard to come by.

word. They spot well. All I gotta do is say "don't touch til I say so, and even then, make me struggle, only stop it if its going to kill me."

People good @ liftoffs are hard to come by.

w00t!

Deadlifts (off of floor, no gear)
135x5
225x3
315x3
365x1
415x1 [PR +10lbs]
355x3

Put bar on rack w/ 135lb, went to piss, came back, some queer took it. Had to wait so long for a bar (that wasn't bent) so I did these:

Box Jumps (~24inchs)
7 sets of 3 jumps

Snatch
45x3
65x1
85x1
95x1 [PR + 10lbs]
95x1 [PR + 1 set]

Since, I was short on time (had ~1hr to lift), so I made the best of it. I decided to get my quads, abs and explosiveness all in one exercise, Snatchs! Held the bottom on all but the 95lb Snatchs.

my deadlift hasn't stopped gaining in I think 3-4months now. Everytime I touch the bar, I add 5-10lbs

**BigZeke** · 03-01-2007, 05:58 AM

Damn, you're catching up. I gotta start putting some weight on the bar.

:box:

what are you at now for off the floor? I know your rack pulls are way above mine, but off the floor is totally different. :-D

**BigZeke** · 03-01-2007, 07:02 AM

if I had a spotter, I would have went for more, but I didn't want to spend 5 minutes resting with 95lbs on my chest before I could get it off of me.

**BigZeke** · 03-04-2007, 05:08 AM

I bet your chest is gonna feel swell tomorrow.
